If your kids are fans of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs ( and who isn't) here's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go trick or treating with the IronPigs' mascot Ferrous. Your kids are assured to get lots of candy when they show up at people's doors accompanied by a six-foot-tall pig sporting a baseball cap.

The IronPigs are auctioning off the chance to trick or treat Friday with their mascot on Ebay, but be prepared to dig deep in your pockets. The bid as of Monday afternoon was more than $200. The good news is the auction benefits IronPigs Charities which provide recreational and educational opportunities for Lehigh Valley youth.

Trick-or-Treating with Ferrous will take place from 6 to 7 p.m. Friday Oct. 29, when Allentown, Bethlehem and many other Lehigh Valley municipalities are celebrating trick or treat. Ferrous will arrive at the child's door at 6 p.m. The only rule is trick-or-treating must take place within 30 miles of Coca-Cola Park in Allentown.

The winner also will get an IronPigs prize pack that includes 4 tickets to a 2011 home game, a first pitch, IronPigs hat, IronPigs autographed baseball, and the child's photo with Ferrous that will be featured on the IronPigs website.

Bidding ends at 9:52 a.m. Wednesday Oct. 27. Payment can be made through PayPal or in person at the IronPigs Front Office by 2 p.m. Friday.
